Alberta Municipal business licences
A business licence is essentially a permit that allows a business to operate on a given premise in a particular municipality. The licence serves as proof to customers that the business is a legitimate establishment that complies with local laws and regulations and is permitted to operate within the municipality. Since business licences are location-specific, each municipality provides different licensing procedures. Depending on where the business is operating, the business owner will need to obtain a business licence from that particular municipality.
